Maxillary Lateral Incisor With Two Roots

AUSTRALIAN ENDODONTIC JOURNAL, Issue 1 2001
Dr Ian J. Collins BDSc
ABSTRACT Variations in root canal morphology can lead to complications in endodontic treatment. A case of a maxillary lateral incisor with two roots is reported. [source]

Multidisciplinary treatment approach for crown fracture and crown-root fracture , a case report

DENTAL TRAUMATOLOGY, Issue 1 2007
Wilson Roberto Poi
Abstract,,, The increased incidence of traumatic injuries to anterior teeth is a consequence of leisure activities, where the most common injuries are crown fractures. Treatment of the dental trauma is complex and requires a comprehensive and accurate diagnostic and treatment plan. It is also important to consider the biological, functional, esthetic and economic aspects, as well as the patient's desire. The purpose of this article is to report a case that shows the multidisciplinary approach required to successfully manage the rehabilitation of a maxillary central incisor with a complex crown fracture and a maxillary lateral incisor, that at first presented an oblique crown-root fracture, and after the orthodontic extrusion, suffered a more apical new crown-root fracture.

Immediate surgical repositioning following intrusive luxation: a case report and review of the literature

DENTAL TRAUMATOLOGY, Issue 6 2006
H. Cem Güngör
Abstract,,, This report presents a case of severe intrusive luxation of mature maxillary lateral incisor in a 10-year-old boy. The intruded tooth was immediately repositioned (surgical extrusion) and splinted within 2 h following injury. Tetracycline therapy was initiated at the time of repositioning and maintained for 10 days. Pulp removal and calcium hydroxide treatment of the root canal was carried out after repositioning. Splint was removed 1 month later. Definitive root canal treatment with gutta percha was accomplished at the second month recall. Clinical and radiographic examination 28 months after the surgical extrusion revealed satisfactory apical and periodontal healing. [source]

Concomitant developmental dental anomalies in Chinese children with dens evaginatus

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PAEDIATRIC DENTISTRY, Issue 4 2006
S. Y. CHO
Summary., Aim., To determine the prevalence of concomitant developmental dental anomalies in a group of Chinese children with dens evaginatus. Methods., The dental records and orthopantomograms of 10,15 year old children and adolescents who had been diagnosed with dens evaginatus in a school dental clinic were reviewed retrospectively. Results., Four hundred and forty-eight of 7102 (6·3%) children were found to have dens evaginatus. Concomitant developmental dental anomalies were found in 77 children (17·2%). The most commonly seen dental anomalies in the study population were hypodontia, hyperdontia, microdontic maxillary lateral incisor, and dental impaction. The prevalence of these anomalies did not differ significantly to that found in the general Chinese population. When analysed separately, however, the prevalence of supernumerary premolars was found to be higher in children with dens evaginatus than in the general population, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0·01). Conclusion., Supernumerary premolars appeared to be more prevalent in Chinese children with dens evaginatus than in the general population. There may be an association of supernumerary premolars with dens evaginatus in this study population. [source]

Immediate Maxillary Lateral Incisor Implants with Nonocclusal Loading Provisional Crowns

JOURNAL OF PROSTHODONTICS, Issue 1 2008
Miguel Peñarrocha MD
Abstract This clinical report series describes a treatment modality involving immediately placed dental implants in maxillary lateral incisor sites using noncemented immediate provisional crowns retained with calcinable copings (prosthetic complement used in preparing the metal for the definitive prosthesis). Ten implants were placed in eight patients for the replacement of maxillary lateral incisors: two immediate and eight corresponding to cases of agenesis. All were subjected to immediate rehabilitation with provisional acrylic resin crowns in nonocclusal loading. One implant failed 3 weeks after placement due to acute local trauma. The other nine remained functional within the mouth, with normal clinical and radiological characteristics after a minimum of 12-month follow-up. Immediate placement of implant fixed provisional restorations retained by friction in maxillary lateral incisors offers an esthetic solution, eliminates the need for a removable provisional restoration, and avoids implant failures associated with excess cement or screw loosening. Moreover, in the case of extractions, immediate placement and provisionalization of implants in maxillary lateral incisors can effectively optimize the peri-implant esthetic results by maintaining the existing hard and soft tissue architecture of the replaced tooth. As no cement or screws are required, and the provisional crowns are placed in nonocclusal loading, the risk of complications is minimized. [source]

A rare case of dens invaginatus in a mandibular canine

AUSTRALIAN ENDODONTIC JOURNAL, Issue 2 2010
Roy George mds
Abstract Dens invaginatus (dens in dente) is a common dental anomaly with a reported prevalence of between 0.04% and 10%. It typically affects permanent maxillary lateral incisors, central incisors and premolars. These developmental lesions are less common in mandibular teeth and are extremely rare in canines and molars. This report describes a rare case of dens invaginatus (Oehlers type II) in a permanent mandibular canine. The tooth was mature with a closed apex and showed apical pathosis. The tooth was treated endodontically using a non-surgical technique with hand endodontic files, and then followed up after a period of 8 months. A follow-up radiograph showed some healing of the lesion. [source]

Prosthetic treatment of maxillary lateral incisor agenesis with osseointegrated implants: a 24,39-month prospective clinical study

CLINICAL ORAL IMPLANTS RESEARCH, Issue 1 2006
Fernando Zarone
Abstract Objectives: The present study aimed at evaluating the marginal bone resorption and the peri-implant tissue conditions around Narrow-Neck ITI implants in the implant,prosthetic treatment of the agenesis of maxillary lateral incisors. Material and methods: Thirty patients affected by monolateral or bilateral agenesis of the maxillary lateral incisors were selected. Thirty-four ITI-SLA Narrow Neck implants were inserted and loaded about 4 months after the surgical procedure. The final restorations were realized using Aureo Galvan Crowns veneered with feldspathic ceramics. The follow-up period ranged from 24 to 39 months. Both marginal bone resorption and soft tissue quality were evaluated. The data were statistically analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) for repeated measures, one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test (P=0.05). Results: During the 24,39-month follow-up period, no implant showed either pain and sensitivity or mobility. After 39 months of functional loading, a cumulative survival rate of 97.06% and a cumulative success rate of 94.12% were calculated. Conclusions: In case of maxillary lateral incisor agenesis, the implant,prosthetic approach has proved to be a reliable and predictable treatment for both re-establishment of function and aesthetics. Satisfactory values of marginal bone resorption over time and optimal conditions of peri-implant tissue around Narrow-Neck ITI implants were found. [source]
